WTF, Donald: President Trump Falls For Syrian Gas Hoax, Alludes To Possible Military Action

“It crossed a lot of lines with me. When you kill innocent children – innocent babies – with chemical gas… that goes beyond red lines,” Trump told reporters on Wednesday.

Trump said the alleged chemical weapons attack in Syria “cannot be tolerated,” but he did not say what the US might do in response. He blamed the incident on the government in Damascus.

“These heinous acts by the Assad regime cannot be tolerated,” added Trump. “My attitude toward Syria and Assad has changed very much. What happened yesterday is unacceptable to me.”

Pressed by reporters to reveal what he intended to do in response, Trump declined.

“Militarily, I don’t like to say when I’m going and what I’m doing,” he added. “I’m not saying I won’t do anything one way or another, but I certainly won’t be telling you [the media].”

Jordan’s King Abdullah praised Trump’s “realistic approach to the challenges in the region,” adding that Syria requires a political solution “that ends the conflict with the country preserving its unity and territorial integrity.”

At least 58 people, including 11 children, reportedly died and scores were injured after a hospital in Khan Sheikhoun was targeted in a suspected gas attack on Tuesday morning, Reuters reported, citing medics and rebel activists. Soon after a missile allegedly hit the facility, people started showing symptoms of chemical poisoning, such as choking and fainting.

According to Russia’s Defense Ministry, the Syrian Air Force destroyed a warehouse in Idlib province where chemical weapons were being produced and stockpiled by rebels before being shipped to Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) in Iraq.

The warehouse was used to both produce and store shells containing toxic gas, Major-General Igor Konashenkov said. The same chemical munitions were used by militants in Aleppo, where Russian military experts took samples in late 2016, Konashenkov said.

Trump himself harshly criticized the Obama administration’s intentions to intervene in Syria back in 2013, saying that the rebels were “just as bad as the current regime” and the US should stay out.

Asked about it on Wednesday, however, the president said his position has changed.

“I do change, and I am flexible. I am proud of that flexibility. The attack on children yesterday had a big impact on me,” Trump said.

“The world is a mess. I inherited a mess,” he told reporters, pointing to Syria and North Korea before adding, “we’re going to fix it.”

Donald, I want you to understand – you actually already might – that the Alt-Right supported you partly because of your commitment to ending foreign wars in desert hellholes as part of an initiative to benefit the Jews.

We’re sick of dead, we’re sick of wounded, we’re sick of our money being sent to support the infrastructure of useless nations that mean nothing to actual White humans, and we’re sick of “refugees” entering our nation thanks to our own military attacks.

Again, Mr. President, understand that we created you, and know that we could easily guarantee that you only exist as a one-term leader if you keep up with this cuckoldry.

NO. MORE. WARS.
